With Taylor constantly studying (CONSTANTLY), I'm always looking for things to occupy my time. I can only blogstalk and watch episodes of Gilmore Girls for so long...
I found a blog that I love love love. It's called Make It and Love It She always has the coolest projects and giveaways. One project that she highlighted was a puff quilt made by another blogger. There's a detailed step-by-step process on how to make one of your own, so I thought I'd give it a try. Luckily, my sister Heidi's having a baby boy this March--giving me an actual reason to make one.
Here's my finished product:
I should have ironed it again after man-handling it during hand stitching...
Anyway, I love how it turned out and can't wait to make another one. I worked on it most nights and weekends for about three weeks, so it went pretty fast. Her directions were really easy to follow. I did get the walking foot for my machine, which was a huge life saver. It made it so much easier to work with so many layers, so I highly recommend it.
Here's the link to the blog: Honeybear Lane.
This is a new one from her blog, and I think I'm going to do one like it next:

Liz,
Here I am, blog stocking. I too have turned to making quilts as a post-graduation hobby; who knew, right? I'm on my first one but it's taking way longer than three weeks. Love how yours turned out, and I love that zig zag one, I'm planning on doing one of those soon too.
Liz...i'm SO IMPRESSED!! Those are absolutely adorable and fun. You'll have to tell me more about them.
I about died laughing seeing the picture of the cop you took. THAT'S HILARIOUS!!!
Can't wait to play again. Thx for being our best friends through out this dental school year!! ;)
